Stay tuned for more educational videos as we continue to build a community of track, drift and autocross and automotive enthusiasts. Please comment here for any future topics you’d like us to cover. Stay tuned for the next video as we expand on this topic. Please note, as pointed out by a subscriber that at 5:23, the entry understeer correction in the chart should show up arrow front rebound and down arrow front compression. Everywhere else it is correct, except at 5:23, my apologies. Subscribe for more!
Very few people has the luxury of experience and testing as driverspaddock has in setup. Finally good to see more videos of this type be made. Anyone with intention of having coilovers, or owning coilovers should watch this
Glad to be able to share my experience with the community and hopefully get more people on track… this is the very first ‘educational’ video on the channel. Hope to continue to grow and expand this part of the channel. Thanks for watching.
On a track like Laguna Seca, where you can gain a lot on left hand corners, it pays to have a biased setup that keeps more grip on the left side tires, the rights are going to grip regardless, the weak link is the left, as using all 4 tires the most effectively will give you the most grip and overall lap time. To get the most out of a track like LS you want to delay weight transfer to the front right, and unload it as quickly as possible, you also want to stop front weight transfer since so much lap time comes from braking deep into the corners. This means soft rebound and stiff compression on the front right, and soft compression on the rear left and stiff rebound. The front left, and rear right would be tuned to driver preference. With coil overs you could also alter the ride height to control this weight transfer, by raising the front right and increasing spring pre-load. In theory, much like you run negative camber to make the tire flat in the corners, so too, can damping and ride height work to achieve this. Thanks for the video and the chance to expand on the subject for the future.
Great video! I've been having issues with the rebound setting on my one-way set. On the exit of T13 of TMP, my front would bounce excessively. This helps to clarify things a lot!
If you think about the suspension frequency on an 18in wheel, at ~90-120mph high speed damping starts having an effect on handling as well, simply because of the frequency of the road and the tire. Once you add aero into the mix, then high speed damping really starts to affect handling, since high speed damping can cause a car to jack down, or up at certain stiffness and frequency. This means you start affecting ride height, and center of pressure, as well as mechanical balance.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. My G87 is on order and I'm looking into what suspension I should look at after getting some seat time with the stock car. I really appreciate you breaking this all down to understand! I can't wait to see what else you have in store! Cheers!
If you don’t know a Kyle… you just might be Kyle… 😂 but check back next week to see how Kyle has been kicking ass in local time attack with what he’s learned here.

That is some amazing technical insight, thank you for sharing it and watching. Will definitely expand more in future videos.
Very useful for us track rats, learned something new today and looking forward to more episodes in this series!
This is exactly what I needed…. Really well explained, will definitely put this to use at my next track day.

Very cool video 😊
Great video! Very practical and easy to understand
Been needing this video ! Thanks so much jay !
Glad you found it helpful. Part 2 is coming soon !
Great vid Jay!

Thanks for watching, glad this helped! Stay tuned for more videos on set up
Not a racer. This hurt my brain a little. Well presented.
Great video for reference !
Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for this insightful video! Learned something new today:)
Stay tuned for week as we continue to expand.
Twist my knobs, please

Awesome! Defintely would love a guide/series from you talking about various aspects of racing (bonus that it's an M2)
Every video this channel puts out is relevant for me 😂
Just trying to build a community of like minded individuals here.

kyle’s check in here 😂. i’m a kyle.
If you don’t know a Kyle… you just might be Kyle… 😂 but check back next week to see how Kyle has been kicking ass in local time attack with what he’s learned here.
More knobs= more better?
@@haojunliangcc always. I need knobs in my knobs.
For best bang for buck, should I just get Ohlins for my brz? Or should I do kw cs 2way (3way too expensive…). Or should I just get some tein
RCE t2 😉
RCE tarmac 2. I have those on my BRZ.
YES
Thanks but I'm still going to set my dampers to full stiff and complain about the track surface.
then rent an engineer to listen to your feedback and implement changes while understanding the psychology of the driver.
Kyle. Lmao.
She twist on my knob til im damping
He said knob.😂
Detail
Weight doesn't transfer, load transfers.
Elaborate 👆🏼
Nothing moves from front to rear, left to to right. Just the amount of load on a given tire info the ground.
